he was taken into the care of Halimah from the tribe of Sa'd, who nursed him for a total of four years, after which he returned to the care of his mother, Aminah
Although many Arabs had settled in Makkah, they held the Bedouins living in the deserts in high regard for their behaviour, good speech and culture. For this reason, they would send their babies to be cared by families living in the desert.
The year in which Halimah took Muḥammad, there was very little food and water. Halimah knew that this child was very special because after taking him, she noticed many blessings. For example, her animals were giving more milk than usual even though there was drought.
Age 12 Journey to Syria Muḥammad would often accompany his uncle, Abu Talib on trade journeys. Once, his uncle took him to Syria, where they met Baḥīrā, a very knowledgable monk who recognised the signs of Prophethood on Muḥammad
582 CEThe life of the Prophet A timeline
Birth of the Prophet Allah had protected the Ka'bah
The Prophet's father, Abdullah had passed away before his birth, so he was born to his mother Aminah as an orphan. The year of his birth was of great significance to the early Arabs because of the ruler Abrahah and his attempts to destroy the Ka'bah with an army of elephants.
from Abrahah and his army by sending
a flock of birds. Each bird carried a tiny pebble in each claw and one in its beak. They dropped them on Abrahah and his army, and despite the pebbles being small, Abrahah's army was destroyed.

UNIT 1: ESSENTIAL KNOWLEDGE
Death of Aminah and 'Abdul Muttalib
At the age of 6, the Prophet's mother passed away. After her death, his care and guardianship passed onto his grandfather, Abdul Muttalib. The Prophet's grandfather loved and cared for him a great deal. Sadly, at the age of 8, his grandfather also passed away. After this, his uncle Abu Talib, cared and looked after him with great love and affection.

Age 45 Migration to Abyssinia
As more people began to respond to the Prophet's call to Islam, the persecution they faced from the leaders and pagans of Makkah greatly increased. It was because of this that a group of Muslims were told by the Prophet to migrate to the lands of Abyssinia, where they could practice their faith without fear of persecution.
The Prophet chose Abyssinia (current day Ethiopia) because it was
a land ruled by a just and fair Christian
king called Najāshi (Negus). When
the Prophet later sent a letter to Najashi, inviting him to Islam, he accepted the invitation.
Age 50
Al-Isrā' wal Mi'rāj
During the event of the Night Journey (Al-Isra'), the Prophet miraculously travelled to Jerusalem. From there, he ascended to the heavens (al-Mi'raj) where he met all the Prophets and saw Paradise and Hell.
It was during Al-Isra' wal Mi'raj that the five Salāhs were ordained for Muslims. This event occurred approximately
a year after his uncle Abu Talib and his wife Khadijah passed away. This year was one of deep sorrow for the Prophet

Migration to Madīnah
After years of persecution and hardship in Makkah, many of the believers who were able to travel migrated to Madinah, eventually followed by the Prophet himself. This became known as the Hijrah (the migration).
This was such as important event that during the time of 'Umar's leadership, they decided to make the Hijrah the start
of the Islamic calendar.
Pagens and Jews were also living
in Madinah. The Prophet
made
agreements between all the communities to ensure everyone lived in harmony
and safety.
This was the year where both
Zakah and fasting became obligatory for Muslims.
